24 Nights to Platinum Premier Elite

I just noticed (in both the Marriott App & in my MR account online) that I have 0 nights this year and "24 nights to Platinum Premier Elite. " Yes, that's what it says in both places.

I made Platinum Elite in Nov. 2018 with 51 nights. At that point, 24 additional nights would have gotten me to PPE (for 2018). I ended the year with those 51 nights. That part I understand.

But on Jan 1, my nights were re-set to 0, as expected. So why would I still only need 24 additional nights to achieve PPE (not a full 75 nights)? It looks like Marriott is somehow still giving me credit for last year's 51 nights toward achieving PPE ... in 2019. If that's the case, great!

Is this another Marriott IT problem, or is there some sort of carry-over credit from last year to help me qualify for PPE in 2019? Or could this just be part of the upcoming fix to the debacle over choosing the Annual Choice Benefit?

I'm sure it will change to 50 nights needed to retain your Platinum status soon. Don't forget that only a few years ago, Marriott would take around 10 day to 2 weeks to reset the nights counter to zero. I can't recall how often we had to answer the question "when will the annual nights counter reset?" during the first couple weeks of every year. The fact that it happened immediately is a chance from the way it used to be.

Another week or so and I would expect the website and app to reflect the correct info. Until then follow verysuiteboy's advice.

I figured as much, but since over the years I have occasionally benefited from, let's say, a hidden benefit or an unexpected comp of some sort, it got me wondering if some of us might have been granted a little extra time to get to PPE and maybe even LTPP. Probably wishful thinking, but it was a thought that occurred to me.

I'm LTP anyway, so at present have no worries about "making" Platinum in 2019. But nailing a year as PPE would be nice.

If some people were granted extra time, I’m sure it wasn’t knowingly or purposely on Marriott’s part. A couple of other people have mentioned that they’ve received emails from Marriott stating that Marriott will be auditing everyone’s accounts & that statuses may not be updated until as late as March 1st, 2019.

We have the same thing. The counter has reset to zero but the text in the bottom says 25 nights to Platinum Premier Elite.

The problem is if it is true then we want to choose the platinum annual benefit of 5 nights. 15 more nights with our credit card and we're only 5 away. If not then we'll probably just get the SNAs and settle to drop back down to silver. They're going to screw us if they change it in March!
